Product Development Interview Questions

3,624 product development interview questions shared by candidates

I was asked what verification tests I would recommend for a given orthopaedic implant that was currently in development. It wasn't that difficult, but I had to give it some consideration because I had never worked in orthopaedics before.

Interview was on par with most situation based interviews. No technical questions were asked. Your resume should speak to your technical experience. Just to be prepared to be surround with about 8 to 9 more candidates who are just as nervous as you are, but once the conversation starts your nerves will settle.

There were no questions that stood out as truly difficult. It didn't appear they were trying to stump you, but rather get to know you. On the other hand, many of the questions had multiple parts (which are read at once), so don't be afraid to ask them to repeat a part of the question. I did it multiple times. My best advice would be to think of several projects you have worked on in the past and know them in and out. Be prepared to answer questions about issues you had during design (time, flaws, restrictions, process), but nothing really technical. Also think of the interactions you had with team members and how you handled the more difficult situations. Come to think of it, one difficult question was: Describe a time that I disagreed with a superior and explain how I handled it.
